Comp analyzer.
Three listings in, three averages out — ADR, occupancy, RevPAR. Outliers flagged so you don't average a unicorn.

Averages
Per-listing breakdown
| Listing | ADR | Occ | RevPAR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comp A | $220.00 | 65% | $143.00 |
| Comp B | $235.00 | 62% | $145.70 |
| Comp C | $245.00 | 58% | $142.10 |
⚠ flags rows that deviate > 25% from the mean — investigate before relying on them as a comp.
How it works
Mean of three numbers is fragile. The 25% deviation flag is a low-bar guard against averaging a comp that doesn't belong — a 5-bed lake house in a 2-bed urban data set, for example.
How to use this calculator
- Open Airbnb and find three listings within a half-mile, similar in beds/baths and finish level.
- Read each calendar to estimate occupancy (booked nights this month ÷ 30).
- Note ADR from the listing's nightly rate.
- Paste in. If a row flags, swap it for a better-matched comp.
FAQ
Where do I get the ADR and occupancy numbers?
AirDNA Rentalizer, PriceLabs market dashboards, or Mashvisor neighborhood data. For a free first look, visit each comp listing on Airbnb and read the calendar — booked nights ÷ 30 = approximate occupancy.
How is RevPAR calculated?
RevPAR = ADR × occupancy. It is the per-available-night revenue and the cleanest single metric for comparing properties.
What does the outlier flag mean?
If a row's value differs from the mean by more than 25%, it's flagged. Either the comp isn't really comparable, or it represents a real edge — investigate before averaging it in.
Should I use 3 comps or more?
Three is the floor for a meaningful average. Five is better. This tool ships with three; paste your strongest three and re-run for additional sets.
